Two court-appointed Monitors are charged with reporting to the judge on progress or inaction of court-ordered reforms of Texas' foster care system. The monitoring team comprised experts in children's law and policy, child welfare specialists, data and policy analysts, social workers, as well as former foster youth. 861761 23000 The Organization's Criminal Justice Project worked to develop policies and practices to ensure justice does not hinge on one's race or wealth; incarceration and monitoring are last resorts; and the legal system is not used as a tool to inflict long-term negative consequences on people's lives, such as not having the ability to access housing, employment, and education. The Organization supported policies and practices that are data-driven and have been shown to be effective, are in line with best practices, and are written and implemented in a manner that promotes equity and justice for all Texans. 801216 5250 As part of the K-12 work, the Organization advocated for law and policy changes at the state level, as well as the local and school district level to close pathways for students to dropout and eliminate contact with the criminal legal system. The Organization worked with coalitions, community organizations, schools, teachers, and students from a policy perspective to foster safe and supportive environments where all students can thrive, regardless of race, income, background, or ZIP code. For higher education, work focused on diversity in the legal profession and equitable access to law school for all qualifies students. 640841 125500 1625 The Organization advocated for just and equitable solutions to problems that negatively impact the financial well-being of Texans, such as predatory payday and auto title lending, harmful debt collection practices, economic abuse, and other financial challenges. The Organization partnered with community, statewide, and national organizations to support local needs and expand the impact through collaborative efforts. 610848 875 The Organization worked to ensure that all Texans are able to recover in the wake of a natural disaster, that all communities are rebuilt to be more resilient, and that all families have the opportunity to live in safe, healthy, and thriving neighborhoods with equitable access to opportunity. 264067 The Organization worked to craft policy solutions that focus on preventing young people from becoming homeless, successfully intervening if they do, and helping remove obstacles for youth experiencing homelessness so they can find stability. 226972 The Organization worked to protect the rights of children and youth in the justice system by focusing on closing the remaining state secure juvenile facility lockups because they endanger youth and do not promote their rehabilitation or public safety. The Organization supported high-quality, community-based, and research-based interventions and treatment that involved young peoples' families and communities over the isolation and confinement found in state facilities. 209934 Other programs and activities provided to promote social, economic, and racial justice for all Texans. 1952662 125500 2500 7977483 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false true true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 35 0 false 71 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 46 46 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false false true true true false X X Nathan Clark 7373291646 1609 Shoal Creek 201 Austin TX 78701 Linda Brooke Monitoring Dir. 40.00 0.00 296237 0 8935 Deborah Fowler Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 275303 0 18567 Viveca Martinez Deputy Director 40.00 0.00 240868 0 17474 Monica Benedict Dep.
